"The last post I see in this section dates back in December 2012....  Am curious to know where Weatherbug 7 and/or 7-Elite development stands--along with all of the various user comment implementation....  I saw lots of agreement on the…"

"Just a short note reiterating why it is so important one weighs the options carefully when deciding to update to Weatherbug 7.0.  As I had stated in one of my earlier posts, the new requirement to install .NET Framework 4.0 comes at a cost--and…"

"The old version did this....  At least when the temp hit triple digits, anything 100 or higher would turn red automatically....  Don't know whether cold temps did this or not, though.  I don't recall."

"I liked 2 other features present in Version 6, which no longer seem to appear in Version 7: Weather News (and all of its sub-topics/links, i.e., News & Features, Stories, Hurricanes, etc.) Weather Fun (and 'most' of its…"

"The ease of installation of .NET Framework 4 is not my major concern.  You're probably right, however....  Most people accept Windows Update recommendations rather blindly, and therefore, probably already have this product--however,…"

"Installed version 7 on my laptop (which I relegate for beta type testing).  From just a pure aesthetic standpoint, I'm ok with the presentation of the main GUI.  Like at least one other person, I too, liked the "So Far…"

"Nathan, of the five you've presented, I guess I like #5 the best, however, I am uncertain this is really representative of what might actually happen if the event were really wintry in nature (meaning, you probably would not really have icing…"

"Nathan, I was unable to decide on a single favorite, but did manage to get it down to 3.... But, I could not decide on a hands-down favorite amongst these 3, as I liked them all. I studied these and whittled them down iteration after iteration,…"

"Of these two maps, I prefer Map #1, but I must echo Harry Hayfield's recommendation regarding the snowfall colors--Using shades of grey with white representing higher snowfall intensity makes sense (for a host of reasons, not least of which,…"

"Thanks for your comments, Mike! Glad to have you aboard."

"Thanks for your welcome, Nathan--and I especially liked your closing comment in your "About" section. We'd all do well to put such into practice...."

"I hate that my first comment is a rather negative one--and perhaps I am the only one who feels this way, but I'll run that risk and express my comments per Andy's request, above.... I'm all for innovation and improvements, but to be…"
